Preconstruction turns an early concept into a buildable plan. Lion Construction evaluates scope, budget, schedule, logistics, permitting, procurement, and market conditions while the project still has flexibility.
Scope of service
- Feasibility and site due diligence
- Conceptual and detailed estimating
- Constructability and drawing reviews
- Value engineering and alternate analysis
- Master scheduling and phasing
- Bid packaging and trade partner outreach
Our process
Clarify program requirements, target budget, and project constraints.
Review the site, utilities, access, entitlement, and permitting considerations.
Prepare milestone estimates and reconcile design decisions to budget.
Identify long-lead materials, trade risks, and schedule dependencies.
Deliver a construction-ready plan with scope clarity and bid coverage.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Early estimates use available quantities, benchmarks, assumptions, and allowances. Accuracy improves as the design and scope become more complete.
Value engineering compares alternatives that preserve required performance while improving cost, schedule, maintainability, or constructability.
It can. Depending on design stage, we may use market checks, budget quotes, or formal bid packages to validate pricing and coverage.
